  • Ignoring misbehavior of students (cigarette smoking, disrespect in class) The students then think they can walk all over him
  • Students seem very unmotivated, don;t have a purpose at school, no expression
  • When irritated with class teacher uses sarcasm, this will not work, the class wont feel understood, they will be uncomfortable
